+1 - WTF ?

Just plop it down on the leather seats? Glad it's your car and not mine. I'd blow a gasket if someone tried that with mine.

What did I haul? - I hauled *** !!

I would have least put a towel or something down to protect the seat for sure.

Wife and I picked up our 2 kids (4 & 5) from school this afternoon. Wife in the passenger seat, kids in the back, backpacks in the boot. A little tight in the back, but definitely worth it.

At first glance it would seem like a good possibility of at least a few drops of chlorinated water making contact with your leather seat. But maybe you took precautions that don't translate well through the picture.

I would not even do that in my 1996 Honda Accord. I would at least have a cardboard box and towels.

I believe in trickle down.


I would have paid my pool guy to take care of it. That way he would have had to put the pump in his porsche.

I was wondering how long it was going to take for someone to share my internal reaction...."Holy @#$!, that thing is sitting directly on the seat!" About 2 posts, good to see.

Ha! I think you are right! Where's the impression in the leather just underneath the heaviest part of the pump? Yep. Fell for it.

Aw, sure you would, if that was the only p-car available......I semi-regularly stuff two guitars, an amp head, plus assorted peripherals in mine...haven't quite figured out how to fit the 4x12 speaker cab in there yet, but when I do...
